Nancy in Hell: A Dragon in Hell

Story by: El Torres
Art by: Enrique Lorenzana
Color: Sandra Molina & Esther Sanz

Some people meet in the most strange places. For the very first time, Nancy In Hell has a crossover, and it is with one of the most beloved, long-running independent Image Comics original characters: The Savage Dragon.

But strangely, this very first crossover is not at Image Comics where they were born, but at Amigo Comics. El Torres is the creator of ” Nancy In Hell “, and wanted to write a one-shot that would attract some attention over to Amigo Comics. Luckily the folks at Image Comics allowed him to do it with Nancy In Hell … and maestro Erik Larsen gave permission to use Malcolm Dragon.

Erik Larsen has always supported the independent creation of comics in many ways. He allowed the creators of “Nancy in Hell” to use the Savage Dragon as special guest star in the book. But make no mistake, this is a Nancy In Hell book, so there are plenty of demons, blood splashes and brain-dead zombies being ripped apart by a chainsaw, following the “B-movie” style featured in the Image Comics ” Nancy In Hell ” saga.

Nancy in hell: A Dragon in Hell is an one-shot, written by El Torres and with art by Enrique Lorenzana, who already worked together on the Image Comics miniseries Comics ” Nancy In Hell” and “Nancy In Hell On Earth”. So grease your chainsaws and prepare your fists… Hell is going to become even a crazier place!

Review: Rogues! #1 and The Westwood Witches #1

Posted on June 10, 2013 by Brett

Rogues! #1

There’s some fantastic fantasy series out there right now. They run the gamut from series fantasy tales to off-the-rails D&D like adventures. Rogues! is the latest entry into the genre that’s somewhere down the middle. It attempts to be serious at times and also employs humor.

This is the tale of Bram and the Weasel, two reputed thieves in the slums of a fantasy world! After rescuing a girl from her wizard father, the two outlaws are cursed with the most horrible curse — for a thief!

Also included in the first issue there’s an extra 4-pages story, featuring the artwork of Rubén Rojas. In “The Rogues’s song” we learn some more facts about Bram and The Weasel… and some more obscure fantasy heroes.

There’s a lot I enjoyed about the first issue, but also a lot I didn’t. The story had a great amount of humor, almost over the top at times, but then at other points the fantasy was somewhat serious. The mix didn’t quite work overall. There’s also a sexualization of the comic that’s over the top and pulled me out of the story. In fantasy it can work if done right and here, it just didn’t work for me.

What’s interesting to me though is when the comic is running on all wheels and really hitting the all the right notes, it’s fantastic. But, there’s a weird mix for me. What works, really works and what doesn’t really doesn’t.

I’m sure many fans of fantasy or D&D would really appreciate this series, but with everything out there, not sure it’d be the top of my list. This is definitely for hardcore fans of off the rail D&D type stories.

Story: 7 Art: 7.75 Overall: 7 Recommendation: Read

The Westwood Witches #1

Jack Kurtzberg is a successful writer of young witch romance bestsellers… and he hates it so much. Suffering from writer’s block, he decides to move back to his hometown, not knowing that his new neighbours are witches, the kind of demon worshippers that would kill anyone who could disturb their dominion in Westwood.

There’s something very “Stephen King” about this new series, blending the domestic life with horror. An unease pervades the comic, the stronger of the two debuts from Amigo Comics.

Witches are a difficult thing to pull off in stories. They can be a bit hokey if not done right, but the mix of average day women and a neighborhood any of us could live in help pull of the story.

The idea or story of a cult living in domestic bliss isn’t anything new, but how it’s presented in this first issue sets up a series that’s both intriguing and interesting.

The most impressive thing to me is the set up of mood. The writing, the art, both create an unease throughout the issue.

The series is a fantastic horror series, a genre that I tend to be a bit harder on. But, this is a great first issue of a four issue limited series that I expect to be fantastic. Well worth checking out this first issue from this indie publisher.
